Barmouth Bay Holiday Park presents

Park life General Manager Wow, what a summer we have had at Barmouth Bay. The heatwave has definitely had an impact on the park and ensured that our many holidaymakers and holiday home owners created

memories that will last a lifetime.

Our entertainment team have risen to the challenge of a busy summer period under the leadership of our fantastic entertainment host Chantelle Tovee, who has helped us to host cinema screenings and lots of My Active and PLAY activities to keep children of all ages busy.

Our Music Weekender, Colour Festival and giant Cream Pie Fight over bank holiday weekend – now that really was a sight to behold – were all a massive success with both holidaymakers and owners enjoying the fantastic entertainment.

And hopefully you heard – or

What happening at

were part of – our evening with Covent Garden’s Royal Opera House. Away Resorts partnered with the iconic Royal Opera House to show live outdoor opera and ballet broadcasts this summer at four of Away Resorts’ six parks. And we were lucky enough to be one of the parks to screen a performance of La Bohème back in June. It certainly was

a night to remember.

So with the busy summer period firmly behind us, we are looking forward to a more gentle pace during autumn, and hopefully, we will see many of you around the park over the next few months.

If you already sublet your holiday home privately, please remember that the key handling and responsibilities lie with you, the owner, to look after. Please ensure your guests are aware they are required to have passes to use the central facilities – these can be purchased from Guest Services. Any complaints need to be dealt with by you and it is your responsibility to advise your guests accordingly. In the case of a private sublet, we unfortunately have no knowledge or record of the booking or what has been communicated/agreed with each guest. In all instances, a private sublet guest who contacts us will be directed back to you, the owner.

Drivers To keep the park safe for everybody, please don’t forget that the speed on the park is 10mph, and of course all the usual rules still apply!

we need to get messages or updates out to you quickly either by a text message or e-mail, so it is important we have the right details on file so you don’t miss out on relevant park information.

How would you like to earn

th ousands

of pounds simply by letting out your holiday home?

Last year some of our owners earned up to £6,500 from their holiday homes – without having to do any hard work. We took care of it all for them, from marketing to handing over the keys and even the cleaning.

We can do the same for you too. Just imagine what you could do with that money – help towards the annual running costs for your holiday home, treat yourself to something nice, maybe build up some savings for later on.

HOW OUR MANAGED LETTING SERVICE WORKS:

1.

2.

3.

You decide the dates you wish to let your holiday home out.

You decide how you would like your sublet money paid to you three times a year.

You sit back, relax and let us do all the hard work!

A complete service from the people who know your holiday park Some holiday owners manage the lettings themselves, and that’s certainly an option. The down side is that you have the stress of being responsible for everything, from start to finish. We’ve deliberately designed our service so it takes care of everything. It means no worries for our owners and a perfect stay for your holiday guests.

Visit Guest Services to find out more and to help you decide if letting your holiday home with us is right for you

Fancy £500, £750 or £1000 off your pitch fees?

A great many of the Holiday Home Owners here at Barmouth Bay have joined us because they were recommended to the park by their friends or family members. You can’t keep a good thing secret for long!

Love is… a holiday home!

If you find yourself falling in love with Barmouth Bay and always counting down the minutes until your next visit, then you may also find yourself telling your nearest and dearest about it too. Whether you want to enjoy holidays with family or friends or you just want them to have as much fun as you do, don’t hide your light under a bushel. For a start, the bushel might spontaneously combust from your excitement.

Secondly, it’s nice to share.

How about £1,000 in Pitch Fee Credits?

Do we have a deal for you?

You bet! If you recommend a friend who becomes a holiday home owner here at Barmouth Bay then you get some additional benefits. Not only can you enjoy holidays together, we will give you an account credit of £500 once they have taken over their holiday home. The second person you refer will earn you £750 and the third is

worth a whopping £1,000.

Bring your friends and help save on your pitch fees.

For referrals to escalate, all sales must be complete within a 12-month period.

How it works All you have to do is complete an owner referral form and send it in to us and let us do the rest. Alternatively, you can bring them along or even call to make an appointment for them.

Simple!

No hard sell promise Yuck, don’t you hate a hard sell? We do too. It’s not our way. We think we have a great offering which doesn’t need a hard-ball pitch because you don’t need a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. We promise that we will treat your referrals with absolute respect and courtesy and that includes giving them the option to say ‘no thanks’. No pressure.
